Jordan Lake count oddities



Hi Folks,

While doing the count yesterday the group led by Patrick Coin 
observed a flock of 11 willets flying from Farrington Road causeway 
around past the boat ramps, heading north. This appears to be a 
fairly unusual bird for the location and time of year as it is not 
listed on the spring count form. At the same place, 2 blackpoll 
warblers were heard and observed feeding with a flock of yellow rumps 
in the pines along the water's edge. A number of other rarities were 
seen by other groups, but not wanting to steal their thunder, I'll 
let them report their own good fortune.

Best wishes
